An addition theorem for three functions similar to $\sin,\cos$ and $\sinh,\cosh$ and one / some questions?
Define the functions $t_k(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{\frac{x^{3n+k}}{(3n+k)!}}$ for $k=0,1,2$. The functions then satisfy:
$
\begin{pmatrix}\exp(x) \\ \exp(\omega x) \\ \exp(\omega^2 x)\end{pmatrix} =

Major indices of standard tableaux of shapes obtained from addable cells of a given Young diagram
I have a "very" indirect proof that the following fact is true for every Young diagram $\lambda \vdash n$ and every $r \in \{0,\dotsc,n\}$:
\begin{equation}
d_\lambda = \sum_{a \in \mathrm{...

Finite groups of cyclicality index $3$
Suppose $G$ is a group. Let’s define the cyclicality index of $G$ using the following recurrent relation:
$$CI(G) = \begin{cases} 1 & \quad G \text{ is cyclic} \\ \max_{H < G} CI(H) + 1 & \...

The number of elements with order less than $k$ in a larger cyclic group
I am working on a problem where it has become important to count (or at least bound from above and below) the number of elements of ${\bf Z}/n{\bf Z}$ that have order less than a given $k$, where $2\...

Finitely generated subgroups are cyclic, and a generalization
Is there a name for groups $G$ which satisfy the property that for any $a$ and $b$ in $G$, there is a $c\in G$ and integers $n$ and $m$ such that $a=c^n$ and $b=c^m$? Such a group has to be abelian, ...

Structure of the group $ (\mathbb{F}_{2}[x]/(Q ^ { e }))^{*}$, where $ Q $ ie an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{2}$
Let $ Q $ be an irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{2}$, can we find a decomposition of the group $ (\mathbb{F}_{2}[x]/(Q ^ { e }))^{*}$ into a direct product of cyclic groups ?.
We know (from $...

Fourier coefficient of close functions
Let $p$ be some prime. Let $\mathbb{Z}_p$ be the cyclic group of order $p$. Let $f, g \colon \mathbb{Z}_p \to \{\pm 1\}$ be two functions. Recall that the Fourier transform is defined as
$$ f(x) = \...
